Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove 1 package of Puff Pastry from freezer (each package contains 2 sheets). Thaw the Puff Pastry sheets for 45 minutes.
- Shred 2 cups of Gruyere cheese with a cheese grater and tear 1 3 oz. package of prosciutto into pieces.

- Roll each of the pastry sheets tightly into a 'log' shape.
- Cut each pastry sheet into 12-14 slices (each slice should be 1/2").
- Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place each of the slices cut side down onto a baking sheet. (Can bake in 2 batches or all at once with 2 separate baking sheets).
- For egg wash:
- Beat 1 egg and 1 Tbsp. of water in a small bowl. Brush each pinwheel with egg wash.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 16-18 minutes or until tops are nice and golden. Remove pan when finished baking.
- Let cool and place on serving tray. Garnish with the zest of 1 lemon.Mince 1/2 cup or so of basil or fresh herb of choice. Sprinkle pinwheels with minced herbs.

Roll the prosciutto into a pinwheel starting with the edge closest to you, rolling away from you.
- Repeat with the remaining prosciutto and filling. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours to firm up. To serve, unwrap the rolls and slice into 3/4-inch pieces with a sharp knife.

- If you don't have a pizza cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into wedges.
